- You are confusing IFF Chunks with the "Hunks" that DOS uses in loadable files
- for specifing code hunks, data hunks, and relocation information. Any image
- data used by an application is usually imbeded in the files data hunks (esp.
- data required to be in chip ram). However, DOS hunks don't specify what kind
- of data is contained in data hunks, so editing image or sound data would be
- rather difficult.
